Thud!

 

The sound was followed by another, and then another. The white powder flying from behind was probably a bag of flour.

The noise quickly stopped. I glanced up and saw it was indeed Rhodon, standing with his arms crossed. The corners of his mouth were tilted up, but his eyes were warning.

The crew, who had been laughing and chatting, fell silent at the sound of his voice. The smiling face was still there, but he was clearly watching the figure behind me.

Rhodon was not speaking to me, but to the sailors in front of him.

It wasn’t out of respect for Dion, it was a warning not to give information away to outsiders.

‘He can’t be trusted,’ I thought.

“But you’re not wearing a hook on your wrist yet, Chef.”

“Heh. The first day, you froze at the sight of a scar on my face, and it’s no fun when the kid’s already settled in!”

He called Dion ‘Master,’ as if to show off.

While he’s quick to give away the information that they’re docking on a pirate island, he doesn’t hide his opinion of Dion.

Perhaps there was another faction in this group, one centered around Rhodon.

A year later, when he arrived in the seaside town, his name was Yellow. That meant his power was not so great as to be unstoppable.

There was no guarantee that it would be the same now. He might have gotten stronger in a year, but the opposite was also possible.

An accident could happen that would leave him with a massive scar, a disability that would literally force him to give up his wrists, and reduce his ability to fight.

He’s not going to set fire to the ship he’s on right away. But if he were to take collective action, his position would change.

It must have worked. Rhodon chuckled and said, “Well, go for it.”

The beast slowly opened its closed eyes and looked up at the ceiling of its cell. Through the dark wood grain of the ceiling, the beast’s eyes darted back and forth across the deck.

It grunted. He’d chained himself up here, unable to roam free, and now he had the human glittering above him all to himself.

He lifted his wounded wing and looked up. The wound had begun to heal since the human had left.

New feathers were growing on the wing that had rotted away, deprived of its original healing power.

I don’t know what was done to the stake, but it was the work of someone who knew the divine beast well.

The same was done to the cage, and I felt a strong resistance whenever I went near it.

Not only was I helpless against such things, but my strength was constantly being taken away.

The beast closed its eyes for a moment and concentrated. Slowly, its body began to glow, starting with its wings, and soon it began to transform.

Before I knew it, I wanted to take hold of it, to grab it with one of the beast’s giant forepaws and keep it by my side so it wouldn’t go anywhere.

It was an unfamiliar sensation, but it wasn’t awkward. It felt like a feeling that had always belonged to me.

A quick glance at the wings revealed a haphazardly healed wound. The cloth wrapped around his body had accumulated quite a bit of energy, and it still gave off a warm glow.

When I laid the shiny human on the ground, I picked up a strand of hair that had fallen to the floor. It was only a few strands, but the beast gathered them up and held them tightly, not wanting to lose them.

The beast buried its nose in its hair and breathed deeply.
